...look at /etc/gdm/gdm.conf. There should be an entry commented out about "menu" uncommenting this item and restarting gdm should place this menu on you login screen.
I didn't find that, but I did find:
[security] AllowRoot=false
When I changed that to true, I was able to log in as root. Then, I was able to run the GDM configurator, and there found the "Login behaviour" tab, which has a button for "Show the 'system' menu, (for reboot, shutdown etc.)"
Pressing that button and restarting gdm solved the problem.
Thanks for the pointer.
